SILCA Professional Bike Chain Stripper for Quick Deep Cleaning - 16oz Drip Bottle

Product Description: SILCA Chain Stripper - The Ultimate Solution for a Pristine Chain

Why is Stripping Your Bicycle Chain Essential?

Transitioning to a waxed drivetrain can be challenging, primarily due to the necessity of completely removing factory lubricants from the chain to ensure wax adheres effectively. Conventional cleaning methods often require multiple solvents combined with rinse steps, moving from non-polar substances that thin out grease and oils, to increasingly polar solvents that evaporate rapidly to leave no residues behind.

In developing the SILCA Chain Stripper, we reversed-engineered the process by identifying powerful chemicals that not only displace greases and oils but also promote wax adherence on metal surfaces. This innovative cleaner is organic and efficiently lifts and encapsulates unwanted substances, making it simple to rinse away. The outcome is the world’s first chain cleaner specifically optimized for wax, designed not only to eliminate grease and oils but also to prepare the metal surface for superior adhesion with wax lubricants.

Product Overview: What is SILCA Chain Stripper?

SILCA Chain Stripper is a concentrated degreaser fused with a wax adhesion promoter (or primer). This combination allows for rapid, single-step preparation of factory-finished chains for waxing, enhancing wax adhesion and extending longevity. This remarkable product reduces the time and chemical variety needed to prep a factory-greased chain to under 10 minutes, thus enabling straightforward preparation even while using drip-wax applications on the bike.

Unpacking Your Bundle

The package includes a 4oz bottle of SILCA Chain Stripper with an applicator tip for convenient application directly on the bike. For optimal results, we suggest removing the chain and placing it in a jar for agitation. Also included is a 4oz bottle of "Super Secret," our award-winning wax-based lubricant renowned for preventing component wear and maximizing watt savings—an ideal solution for protecting and silencing your chain.

How to Strip Your Chain

To prepare a new factory chain using SILCA Secret Blend Hot Melt, submerge the chain in the Stripper and shake it for 30 seconds. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then agitate again for another 30 seconds. After rinsing with water, dip the chain directly into the hot wax; the boiling water will dissipate within a few minutes, resulting in a thoroughly waxed chain that lasts up to 30% longer than chains cleaned through traditional methods.

When to Re-lubricate Your Chain

Once you've stripped away all factory grease and debris from the road, apply a single drop of Super Secret to the chain. Use your fingers to work it into the chain and allow it to sit for 24 hours post-application. This waiting period ensures the liquid wax cures appropriately before your first ride. Similarly, for subsequent applications of lubricant, plan for another overnight wait prior to riding.
